For my blog, but also for every other front-end, website, or little tool I build, I wanted one personal style: a logo, colors, a font, animations, and a general look and feel. The nice bonus: once it is written down, my AI coding agents can read it and generate slides, websites, and UI that already look like me. This post is about how I created that style.
Designing a personal logo turned into its own little journey. Nowadays it is easier than ever to generate a quick logo using a text-to-image model. But I didn't really like that approach. I wanted something recognizable, simple, minimalistic, focused on content, and reproducible from configuration.
I've moved to Markdown as my primary writing format across everything I do. This blog, presentations via Marp, notes in Obsidian, and all documentation in repositories.
I like to write things down to structure my thinking. Some of those things might be interesting to others too, so I decided to put them on a blog. This post is about the blog itself: how it's built, deployed, and what tools I use.
